Talk Pages:
The Lord of the Rings Wiki is an ongoing project. Currently we have articles that are copied from Wikipedia. This is OK but see Copying from Wikipedia for more details.
As The Lord of the Rings has become a major motion picture movie, many people may think that it is exactly the same as in the books, but as Tolkien enthusiasts know, this is untrue. Therefore any informaton put into articles should be based around the books, if you wish to add information based on any adaptations, then make it clear that you are refering to this - eg. like a title 'Peter Jackson's Motion Picture'. See our Canon Policy for more informatoin.
Current LOTR Wiki's Policy:
This month's article is:Army of the dead.
The article attack award is a new way in which contributors can enhance pages in great need of work and detail. The user who contributes the best edits will be awarded the Article Attack Award.
Well done to last months winner, User:Darth Plagueis again, for contributing the most towards edits made to Minas Tirith. But also thanks to User:Dwarves who also made valued edits.
See main project page to make nominations.
As with many other MediaWiki projects, "Help" has a separate namespace (and related talkspace) all to itself. Start at Help:contents, and if any subject is getting a bit long move it (leaving link) to another "Help:..." page (easier to type than "LOTR:Help:..."). There may be a corresponding page at Central Wikia, which may be copied or linked to.
